Firman trialing with Panthers

[Big Mick]

According to PI he is training with the team currently. He will play both trials and we'll see how he goes. If successful he'll get a one year contract.

i hope with a second and third year option in the clubs fav, we dont need another amos

You have to hope so!!

Good move by the club IMO.

 

[Big Mick]

i think waiting to see how he goes in the trials is a smart option too.

The guy needs confidence...heres hoping Elliot helps him.

He has a good kicking game, if he just brings that to the table i'd be happy...but we kind of need a running five-eight not just a passing one. Thats my concern.

 

[Orca]

Obviously will play 5/8, just let him play his natural game, IMO he has been forced to play other type roles when he has been at Roosters (Fittler) and Cowboys.

 

[Parra Guru]

I feel really sorry for him. Was the next big thing before he broke his leg.

I hope he finds his feet wherever he goes

 

[choc_soldier]

It's an interesting move.

Hopefully he does all right in the trials, and we can offer him something. If anything, would be good for depth.

 

[NK Arsenal]

Finally we may get a good signing.

 

[griffo346]

IMO its a good move

 

[Caged Panther]

Given that he is younger then trindall and other issues that have been discussed previously if he proves himself in the trials I'll be happy to see firman as a panther.

 

[Munky]

No No No No No

A useless hack in the Chris Walker mold. If he sees first grade I will cry.

 

[griffo346]

i asure you if he goes well in the trials he will def be in first grade munky

peter wallace, jarrod sammut? f**kin penrith, love the has beens rather than the local talent, give a young fella a shot at 5/8

 

[griffo346]

peter wallace has been out for the whole yr would he have fitness??? maybe maybe not
however i reckon firman will be good penrith have been known to turn players careers around examples

craig stapleton,amos roberts

i just hope firman doesnt have a gun yr after being signed up for the season then goes away from us

 

[Big Mick]

peter wallace, jarrod sammut? f**kin penrith, love the has beens rather than the local talent, give a young fella a shot at 5/8

Jarrod Sammut - 0 first grade games
Craig Trindall - 3 first grade games
Peter Wallace - 1 first grade game
Dean Caldwell - 0 first grade games

I think Elliot will give these young guys a go...but Firman is a safety net should they not be ready.

 

[Munky]

Firman is a safety net full of holes.

 

[lainey]

Firman is a safety net full of holes.

This is the reason he is playing in the trials before he signs...I doubt Elliott would sign him if he was no good...

Brad Drew?

i dont want to say it im not sure if its safe say it ahh bugger it im gonna say it.

I TOLD YOU SO.

I said it on here i said on pi i said it on msn i said on the freakin toilet seat for god sake firman has arrived lol.

It's great news now that i have proven my statement by him showing up il repeat the rest of what i said.

Firman will be signed he will start in first grade if we get off to a good start firman will be rested and a young bloke will be tried out if we get off to a shaky start firman will spend most of this season in first grade.

He is a great bloke a great footballer and all those who are going to whinge now then say aww i said at the start he was good for us well just zip it before use get started lol.

Great to see him here now we truly have a squad made for premiership success.
